Dear friend, are you just watch? What have you thought of and what can you do to improve this generation and even the next? What are doing with the seed planted inside of you?
Read the below article with me and I can bet that you will be as astonished as I was, and, may probably be reminded that there is greatness inside of you. Have you started doing what you were created to do? So what next will you do? invent something? reach out to someone and be a blessing to them? promote a new course? be a role model?
Whichever you choose to do or are already doing must be what you are created to do and must be beneficial to the world not just you alone. This generation awaits you, rise up and act today.
A human brain has been ‘grown in a lab for the first time’
A human brain has been grown in a laboratory for the first time, scientists claim.
The miniature brain, which is the size of a small pencil eraser, will now be used to study neurological diseases, scientists at Ohio State University said.
It could also be used to test drugs for conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Skin cells from an adult human were used to grow the brain, which resembles that of a five-week-old foetus, and is believed to be the most complete model of a brain ever created in a laboratory.
Previous attempts have always ended in partial organs or ‘cerebral organoids’, Ohio State University’s Rene Anand said while presenting the work to the Military Health System Research Symposium yesterday.
‘We have grown the entire brain from the get-go,’ said Anand, adding that their brain also has a spinal cord, signalling circuitry and a retina. ‘We don’t have any sensory stimuli entering the brain. This brain is not thinking in any way.’
The brain is said to have taken 12 weeks to make.
While the creation sounds incredible, Zameel Cader, a consultant neurologist at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, urged caution, saying it is impossible to judge the impact of the work yet.
‘When someone makes such an extraordinary claim as this, you have to be cautious until they are willing to reveal their data,’ he said.
Until we know more the brain will be used for military testing to understand the effect of post traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries.
